to_o know_v his_o excellency_n pleasure_n as_o to_o my_o return_v to_o my_o command_n at_o which_o the_o general_n say_v where_o be_v joyce_n be_v article_n i_o say_v in_o the_o advocate_n hand_n the_o general_n then_o say_v i_o will_v have_v they_o prosecute_v say_v lieutenant_n you_o shall_v fare_v never_o the_o worse_o for_o joyce_n be_v wickedness_n this_o i_o do_v declare_v to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o knowledge_n to_o be_v the_o first_o and_o all_o the_o encouragement_n i_o ever_o receive_v from_o general_n cromwell_n now_o first_o consider_v the_o evil_a intend_a towards_o i_o by_o lt._n colonel_n joyce_n with_o what_o expense_n he_o have_v put_v i_o to_o without_o cause_n whether_o now_o be_v the_o great_a evil_n in_o general_n cromwell_n to_o make_v such_o a_o promise_n or_o have_v make_v it_o not_o to_o perform_v it_o i_o never_o receive_v a_o penny_n or_o penny's-worth_n from_o he_o and_o i_o have_v sign_v to_o the_o article_n as_o a_o witness_n when_o call_v can_v not_o do_v less_o than_o witness_n to_o what_o i_o know_v to_o be_v truth_n and_o my_o conscience_n bear_v i_o testimony_n that_o i_o do_v it_o to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o remembrance_n without_o respect_n to_o any_o reward_n promise_v and_o as_o for_o my_o prosecute_n he_o it_o be_v false_a for_o sergeant_n tho._n knight_n be_v his_o prosecutor_n and_o whereas_o he_o say_v i_o be_v encourage_v again_o whenas_o before_o i_o can_v make_v nothing_o of_o it_o i_o answer_v that_o my_o evidence_n be_v before_o offer_v to_o the_o commissioner_n in_o the_o country_n but_o because_o i_o will_v not_o sign_n to_o the_o article_n as_o prosecutor_n the_o commissioner_n be_v so_o much_o lt_v colonel_n joyce_n friend_n that_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v any_o testimony_n to_o the_o article_n against_o he_o and_o i_o do_v refuse_v to_o sign_n they_o as_o prosecutor_n because_o than_o my_o evidence_n will_v not_o have_v be_v valid_a be_v the_o chief_a witness_n to_o make_v his_o false_a muster_n appear_v and_o how_o he_o wrong_v the_o soldier_n of_o their_o pay_n i_o say_v for_o that_o cause_n the_o commissioner_n will_v not_o receive_v evidence_n to_o the_o article_n against_o the_o lieut._n colonel_n though_o sergeant_n knight_n offer_v to_o sign_n they_o as_o prosecutor_n no_o marvel_n therefore_o that_o the_o say_v commissioner_n can_v make_v nothing_o of_o it_o as_o premise_v by_o lt_n colonel_n joyce_n the_o next_o thing_n he_o charge_v upon_o i_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v false_o swear_v that_o i_o shall_v hear_v the_o lt._n colonel_n say_v in_o adistors_n in_o portland_n about_o the_o death_n of_o lockyer_n that_o he_o be_v sorry_a that_o lockyer_n have_v not_o pistol_v cromwell_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o first_o offer_v a_o query_n 1._o if_o the_o testimony_n of_o two_o honest_a witness_n to_o one_o thing_n shall_v be_v account_v false_a swear_n what_o testimony_n in_o our_o age_n shall_v be_v account_v true_a swear_n and_o that_o there_o be_v so_o in_o this_o case_n i_o do_v affirm_v and_o know_v the_o contrary_n can_v be_v prove_v 2._o i_o reply_v by_o way_n of_o reason_n why_o my_o evidence_n can_v not_o be_v false_a 1._o because_o by_o my_o testimony_n the_o court-martial_a find_v lt._n colonel_n joyce_n a_o guilty_a person_n 2._o because_o the_o court-martial_a cast_n out_o the_o evidence_n of_o some_o person_n who_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o lt._n col._n joyce_n do_v swear_v against_o i_o as_o of_o person_n forswear_v but_o do_v not_o do_v so_o to_o my_o evidence_n against_o lt._n col._n joyce_n 3._o because_o the_o court-martial_a which_o do_v consist_v of_o many_o faithful_a man_n as_o i_o judge_v and_o many_o of_o they_o lt._n colonel_n joyce_n great_a friend_n do_v upon_o the_o several_a evidence_n by_o i_o produce_v etc._n etc._n judge_v he_o so_o guilty_a as_o to_o cashier_v he_o the_o army_n and_o whereas_o the_o say_v lt._n colonel_n declare_v that_o when_o he_o can_v not_o be_v persuade_v out_o of_o his_o commission_n during_o his_o imprisonment_n the_o which_o also_o he_o declare_v to_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o his_o bear_a testimony_n against_o the_o army_n apostasy_n he_o still_o place_v that_o in_o the_o van_n of_o his_o suffering_n which_o i_o be_o confident_a be_v in_o the_o rear_n as_o have_v already_o be_v declare_v and_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o than_o article_n be_v draw_v against_o he_o that_o be_v also_o false_a his_o own_o conscience_n know_v that_o article_n be_v draw_v up_o against_o he_o and_o proof_n offer_v thereunto_o a_o month_n at_o least_o before_o his_o be_v imprison_v so_o no_o effect_n of_o his_o be_v imprison_v or_o refuse_v to_o lay_v down_o his_o commission_n as_o declare_v by_o he_o nor_o of_o his_o boast_n that_o he_o bare_a testimony_n against_o the_o apostasy_n of_o the_o army_n in_o the_o matter_n premise_v which_o be_v some_o month_n after_o in_o these_o thing_n lt._n colonel_n joyce_n have_v verify_v the_o use_n of_o a_o old_a proverb_n viz._n that_o a_o liar_n have_v need_n have_v a_o good_a memory_n otherwise_o he_o will_v contradict_v himself_o again_o he_o say_v that_o by_o the_o false_a and_o double_a swear_n etc._n etc._n as_o to_o that_o of_o false_a swear_n i_o have_v already_o make_v such_o answer_n as_o i_o hope_v have_v give_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o every_o impartial_a reader_n of_o my_o innocence_n from_o that_o great_a sin_n as_o also_o to_o believe_v that_o if_o lt._n col._n joyce_n have_v either_o be_v a_o true_a man_n or_o a_o wise_a man_n he_o will_v not_o have_v publish_v so_o false_a a_o accusation_n with_o so_o many_o know_a lie_n in_o print_n but_o whereas_o he_o accuse_v i_o with_o double_a swear_n it_o be_v matter_n of_o sorrow_n in_o i_o to_o consider_v that_o his_o wicked_a action_n shall_v be_v so_o many_o as_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v call_v upon_o to_o swear_v to_o more_o than_o one_o article_n against_o he_o it_o not_o be_v reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o i_o swear_v twice_o to_o one_o particular_a and_o as_o for_o my_o prosecute_n he_o it_o be_v sergeant_n though_o knight_n as_o i_o have_v already_o declare_v and_o as_o for_o my_o be_v thereto_o encourage_v as_o false_o suggest_v by_o he_o have_v be_v reply_v unto_o already_o in_o order_n as_o they_o stand_v in_o his_o paper_n next_o the_o lt._n col._n say_v that_o in_o his_o own_o conscience_n he_o be_v clear_a of_o any_o crime_n or_o offence_n as_o his_o paper_n say_v unstable_a by_o law_n ah_o poor_a unstable_a soul_n do_v thou_o mourn_v for_o thy_o wickedness_n almost_o 6_o year_n ago_o have_v thou_o then_o so_o much_o sense_n of_o guilt_n as_o to_o use_v both_o lawful_a &_o unlawful_a mean_n to_o prevent_v thy_o come_n to_o a_o trial_n the_o innocent_a and_o righteous_a man_n be_v bold_a as_o a_o lion_n i_o say_v what_o be_v thou_o afraid_a of_o if_o thy_o conscience_n be_v clear_a as_o thou_o now_o seem_v to_o have_v the_o confidence_n to_o affirm_v sure_o it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o lt._n colonel_n joyce_n as_o it_o be_v to_o simon_n magus_n thou_o be_v still_o in_o the_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n and_o in_o the_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n thy_o heart_n be_v not_o right_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n repent_v therefore_o of_o this_o thy_o wickedness_n the_o next_o charge_n be_v that_o after_o this_o i_o move_v the_o general_n then_o call_v protector_n for_o his_o promise_a preferment_n 2._o for_o my_o charge_n in_o prosecution_n it_o be_v false_a that_o ever_o i_o make_v any_o motion_n to_o the_o protector_n in_o any_o business_n relate_v to_o myself_o after_o the_o protector_n be_v make_v protector_n i_o not_o be_v free_a in_o my_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n to_o serve_v he_o either_o by_o sea_n or_o land_n but_o i_o gather_v by_o this_o charge_n that_o his_o design_n be_v to_o render_v i_o to_o be_v a_o lover_n of_o the_o protector_n as_o protector_n and_o so_o unamiable_a as_o to_o the_o present_a authority_n but_o the_o contrary_a to_o this_o be_v know_v unto_o my_o acquaintance_n whether_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n or_o other_o that_o i_o have_v still_o upon_o all_o occasion_n bear_v a_o sober_a testimony_n against_o the_o government_n of_o this_o nation_n to_o be_v by_o a_o single_a person_n as_o lord_n protector_n or_o otherwise_o i_o have_v often_o jeopard_v my_o life_n in_o the_o high_a place_n of_o
